PLC with CANopen functionality and Marine Certified

I would like to find PLC system with CANopen functionality and Marine Certified.

certification for use in Marine Industry can be by any or all of the following agencies:● ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)● BV (Bureau Veritas)● DNV (Det Norske Veritas)● GL (Germanischer Lloyd)● LRS (Lloyds Register of Shipping)

My requirements are actually quite modest:I need single controller and 3 clusters of I/O's with up to 20 digital I/O's (mixed in different combination) per cluster and 2 Analog 10 bit Inputs per cluster. Power: 24V.

Graphical method of programming.

Right now I use Siemens LOGO! PLC's and in general it's all I need but they do not have the remote I/O capability.

>> Why CANbus are you going to interface directly with another system or is it your preferred network for your remote IO.

I am tasked to create network based on CANbus.

One specific piece of equipment, Rudder Angle Indicator interfaces through CANopen and not another Network.

I need to set up network that matches it, hence it is CANopen.

For this network I need Controller and remote I/O's. Must be marine industry certified.

I found great hardware, Wago in particular but there is even better fitting to what I need; none of it Marine Certified.

Some Modicon controllers like Modicon M340 are marine certified but it looks like they just offer capability to be interfaced with CANopen network, not to be it's controller. No matching I/O's. No development platform for CANopen.
